#good conversation
When daylight starts to creep in and the world shuffles awake, when a caress or a look says more than words, when you wish you could freeze for a moment, you’ll be glad you shared a cup. Mountain Tea is for lovers. Happy Valentines Day.

Helped two men and their five and three-year old sons pick out pillows this afternoon. Both kids are on the test bed crowding one dad while he’s trying to test out a couple pillows. The oldest of the boys looks up at the ceiling and calls his dad to look at the umbrellas hanging from the ceiling. The boy flips over on his stomach, looks at me and asks, “Howww did you get the umbrrrrellaaas up there?”
Without hesitation I reply, “With a really tall ladder.”
The one dad cracks up laughing, “Wow. I love how literally you answered that. Took a literal question and answered it directly in a snap.”
“That’s how I roll. I am a very frank person.”
…but seriously. What type of response was he expecting me to provide the kid?
Excellent advice for improving conversation skills.
